Nursing Yourself Back to Health

I recently had surgery and I was told it would take a good month or two to be completely healed.  In knowing this and sharing it with my Mom, she sent me this email that made a lot of sense to me and I wanted to share with you.

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

“One is Evil – It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, ego and fears .

“The other is Good – It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

 I thought this would be something that could be applied to any area of your life.  Mine would be during this time of healing.

Have a great week!
